Hey guys,
So Ive been trying my hand at poster printing, and I commissioned a piece by Megan Mushi. It is a 7 color screen printed poster and is 18x24. Its an edition of 75, and costs $35. We are numbering them tomorrow, and we should have them shipping out this week. If you want to give it a look the link is below. Also, if you purchase a poster, and leave your screen name, Ill throw back $5 per poster back to the EB site on behalf of you.

Thanks guys!!!

I like most of the print but it looks like Gandalf is digitizing the balrog's junk.

Like this but balrog

You printed these yourself? If so, congrats on the project.
So it goes...

Yeah commissioned and printed myself. I did shirts first, then decided it was a good project to test my hand at poster printing.
I’ve been collecting too long, and have been wanting to print for too long, to let this project pass without giving it a shot.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I’m going to be doing more commissions and prints. I’ve been learning from some other printers some tips and tricks that help in the printing process. It’s been fun, and I have a lot to learn, but you just can’t beat the end result of a screen print.

That's great! I would love to see more EB members try their hand at screen printing.

NOTE TO ADMINS: It would be so awesome if the new EB site could have a sub-forum for DIY screen printers. The gp forum was a great resource for those just starting-out and was so helpful (to me). Seems to me that a separate forum would bring new members that are more interested in the technical side of screen printing. Just sayin'...
